With its precise and poetic sign making, Untitled (Counting Without Riggers) witnesses Al Taylor’s unique spatial experimentations in drawing. Taylor’s practice, encompassing print-making, painting and sculpture, is characterised by a ceaseless dialogue that aims to break down boundaries between the imaginary and the objective, and two-dimensional and illusionistic space. Executed in 1998, in Untitled (Counting Without Riggers) mysterious round shapes reach out from the fictitious depth created by a grid of subtly traced squares and irregular lines. As Faye Hirsch has observed, ‘Even in two dimensions his vision –tied to objects and phenomena in the world, however abstracted – [is] richly spatial’ (F. Hirsch, ‘Book Review: Al Taylor Prints: Catalogue Raisonné’, in Art in Print, July – August 2014, p. 47).
